SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 676,213, dated June 11, 1901.

Applicationfilerl July 6, 1900.

To all whmn it may concern:

Be itknown that I, WILLIAM WAUD, a citizen of the United States,residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Packages for Ice-Creamand Wrappers Therefor; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to lettersof reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The objects of this invention are to facilitate the work of wrappingboxes of uniform size and more particularly boxes containing pints orquarts of ice-cream, to provide a package that will be more convenientfor handlin g, and to secure other advantages and re sults, some ofwhich may be referred to hereinafter in connection with the descriptionof the working parts.

The invention consists in the improved wrapper, inlthe improved package,and in the arrangements and combinations of parts, all substantially aswill be hereinafter set forth, and finally embraced in the clauses ofthe claim.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, in which like letters ofreference indicate corresponding parts in each of the views, Figure 1 isa perspective view of the improved package, and Fig. 2 is a plan of thewrapper in detail.

In said drawings, a indicates the body of the wrapper, comprising anoblong piece of.

paper having in its shorter axis two short slits or slots 1) 1), formeda little back from the longer edges 0 c of said sheet, one slot beingformed near one edge and the other slot being near the opposite edge. 01indicates a cord or tape, doubled as shown, and the opposite ends tiedor otherwise fastened together, as at e, to form a continuous or endlesstying and carrying cord. The opposite ends of said doubled endless tapeor cord are thrust through the slots 7), and between said slots on theinner side of the package the said tape is preferably glued or cementedfast to the face of the sheet. This sheet is sized to inclose a box ofagiven size, so that when Serial No. 22,6 '74. (No model.)

the said box is inclosed in the wrapper in the manner indicated in Fig.1 the end laps fof the folded paper at the opposite ends of the packagehave the slots centrally disposed therein, and the opposite freeprojecting ends of the continuous carrying cord or tape form end loops dand extend out from said slots, where they may be easily caught by thehooks g of. the handpieee h. Thus the endless tape or cord d extendsbeneath the package to support the same, the central part of said cordlying longitudinally beneath the box on the inner side of the wrapperand the ends projecting out, as before mentioned, and lying on theoutside of the laps f, holding said laps against the body of the packagewhen the loops are caught by the hooks attached to the handle, so thatthere is no danger of any unfolding of the wrapper.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is- 1. Awrapperforice-cream boxes, 820., comprising an oblong sheet of Wrapping-paperhaving on its shorter axis slits formed transverse to said shorter axis,a doubled cord lying along said shorter axis and passing through theslits, the said slits being separated and disposed a distance from thelonger axis of the sheet and adapted to permit the disposition of thebox to be wrapped lengthwise therebetween and the protruding ends orloops of the doubled cord being adapted to hold the adjacent folds ofthe folded wrapping-sheet against the ends of the box when folded and toreceive hooks at the opposite ends of a handle above the box,substantially as set forth.

' 2. Awrapper for ice-creamboxes,&c., comprising a sheet ofwrapping-paper adapted to be wrapped around the top, bottom and sides ofa box and folded in upon each end, said sheet having near each end of atransverse line extending between the margins adapted to be folded inupon the ends of the box slits or apertures, and a tape or cord disposedand arranged transversely between the said margins of the sheet adaptedto be folded in upon the ends of the box and having its ends thrustthrough the said slits or apertures and adapted to hold in place thesaid margins when folded in upon the ends of a box, and the said ends ofthe tape or cord which projeot through the slitsior apertures providingloops adapted to receive hooks at the opposite ends of a handle abovethe box, substantially as set forth. 4'.

3. The combination with a box, of a wrapper comprising a sheet ofwrappingpaper wrapped around said box and being pressed in at the endsfrom the top and side edges and forming a lap folded'against the end ofthe box from the bottom edge, a cord or tape lying between said wrapperand the bottom of the box and having looped or doubled endsprojectingthrough slits in the said endlaps an (1' reaching upward overthe opposite top edges of thebox, said loops pressing-the laps againstthe ends of the box and being adapted to reoeive hooks at the oppositeends of a handle, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this28th day of 20
